This version was done by copyist who copied it from the original and perhaps abridged it. [/QUOTE]So you never should have brought it up in the first place And you could make the same argument about any writing in a book , maybe the people who printed or hand copied the text changed it -Now you may have to throw out all your argument where you bring up what the Greeks said etc. [QUOTE]Originally posted by the questioner: You can't prove that he wrote it [/QUOTE]So now you are saying this is not even an editing or translation issue, that Pigafetta whose name is on the title pages of these books may not have even written it, they may have lied when they put his name there. I keep explaining over and over, the original journal is lost but the second text that we are looking at here is also written by Piagetta himself in recollection of his voyage. So it's not like there is no Piagetta account at all [/qb][/QUOTE]the issue is not if the text is true to its original my argument is that it may be an abridged version the issue is the "woolly hair" reference, how do we know it wasn't taken out because all the versions you presented doesn't even describe the hair texture of the natives.
